So, what is happening here is that some of our common code in loadparm
really isn't ready to cope with the idea of a path-less share, and the
quickest way to shut it up is to define a path, but know that won't be
used by the ntvfs file server.

It won't actually stop the cifs proxy working.  We know the proxy works
(for SMB1) because we test it in make test. 

I know you got down a rabbit-hole with Roland, but yes, this really is a
feature, it is hard to find and use, because you need to operate Samba
in a way not documented clearly (because for everyone else, it is
useless) where you use the 'samba-tool domain provision
--server-role=member' mode followed by 'samba-tool domain join' if you
need to be part of a domain.

Some clues may be found in the code under selftest/ that configures our
test environment, or by running 'make testenv'

Hopefully you can figure it out.
